You’ve probably heard about Trump politicizing the U.S. Agency for Global Media which manages Radio Free Europe, Radio Liberty, and Radio Free Asia by installing loyalist Michael Pack.  Pack has packed the board of the agency, as well as senior staff with other Trumpists, ideologues, and conservative activists.  Biden has already signaled a housecleaning and fumigation of the agency when he takes over in a few weeks, but Pack is not planning on going quietly.

In secret, Pack has unilaterally attempted to execute binding employment contracts with said Trumpists intended to block any Biden firings for two years.  When the career staff found out what Pack was doing, they said not no, but hell no, and blew the whistle.  Day before yesterday, they sent a four page letter to McConnell, Pelosi, and Senate and House leaders, the Inspector General, and the presidential transition team.  The letter was signed by over two dozen staffers including the editorial board, the editor in chief, and all the heads of the global regional operations.  In the letter, they made this statement:

When Pack took over last June (after a two year Senate confirmation battle), he made sweeping changes to the agency including dissolving all of the boards of the agencies under his authority and packing the boards and staff with a rogue’s gallery of religious fanatics, activists, ideologues and weirdos.  What’s particularly galling is that in October a Superior Court Judge in DC ruled that Pack had acted illegally in dissolving the board and seizing control of the Open Technology Fund which was established to help areas of the world access to open and secure internet access.  Pack has ignored the court order and to reestablish the boards he dissolved.

Pack is a bad guy who represents all that is truly odious about Trump who is continually trying to destroy our democracy.  Many thanks to those career staffers and true Americans who stood up to Pack and said NO.

They are the only thing right now standing between democracy and the Trump abyss.

Trump Attorney Lin Wood, of Plenty of Perjury fame, has a new target – Chief Justice John Roberts.  He took to Twitter to attack Roberts.  He asked two questions and this is how I would answer them if I were Roberts.

“You are recorded discussing Justice Scalia’s successor before date of his sudden death,” said Wood. “How did you know Scalia was going to die?”

I knew he was going to die because there is no such thing as eternal life.

For good measure, Wood also threw in allegations based on the QAnon hoax: “Are you a member of any club or cabal requiring minor children as initiation fee?”

Yes, the PTA, Girl Scouts, Little League Soccer, and Papa Joe’s Amusement Park and Pony Rides.

It is amazing how somebody with a double digit IQ got a law license.  It is not, however, amazing that person would work for Trump.

Thanks to SGray for the heads up.

We have 20 kids stationed in Savannah.  Glen grabs a few of them at a time and send us reports. This one was made especially for y’all.

Your donations are paying for living spaces at rented B&B’s in one area close together, where everybody has their own bedroom. They are feeding the kids two fresh, warm meals a day – breakfast and dinner – that they can pick up at the main house and take to their own place to cook. We give them money for fast food for lunch.

Thanks to your generosity, there are 17 kids and they are working with the Georgia Democratic Party.  Part of them are being sent to Hinesville, a rural town outside of Savannah.  Glen says it’s 50% black and the other 50% has confederate flags in their yards. The rest are teaching volunteers how to canvass using smart phones.

And yes, there are women in our group.  I’ve requested videos of them.

Here are Joe and Sam on the ground in Georgia, working on New Years Eve eve!

How about going wilding with Donald Trump?

“Statistically impossible to have lost the 2020 Election,” Trump tweeted on Saturday. “Big protest in DC on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!”

Okay, so you get together the Q-anoners, the Proud Boys, the Trumpers, the White Supremacist, and every swashbuckeling Boogaloo Boy on the planet and you think it won’t be wild, but plenty crazy? Yeah, me too.

Olivia Troye, a former top aide to Mike Pence, believes that Trump is inciting violence on January 6th.  Yeah, me too.

Trump, of course, won’t be there. He’ll be in Florida still screaming and pouting about the new interior decorating.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
